What better place to get together to think, plan and share ideas than Torquay, on the magnificent Surf Coast. One of Victoria’s fastest growing towns, Torquay is the official starting point of the Great Ocean Road, and home to world famous Bells Beach and is the birthplace of the iconic surf brands, Rip Curl and Quiksilver.

The 2016 State Conference will be the third annual Vic/Tas Region State Conference, following the very successful conferences held in Geelong (2014) and Ballarat (2015).

The Conference is a great opportunity to increase your industry knowledge and local networks, and learn from colleagues in the sector. Also at the same time and venue is the UMS Awards of Excellence Dinner. We look forward to seeing you in Torquay in May 2016.

The Awards of Excellence Dinner is generously supported by
